I feel like i have to say that i don't mean that anime viewers aren't human, i watch anime myself, but i atleast recognize that the average normal person is not going to be intrested in watching anime in this day and age.

Over the last few years a ton of anime companies have collapsed wich should show that the initial expectations were not lived up to. The market got drowned in horrible shows because companies thought that people wanted anime, regardless of quality. Clearly, they did not. The almost universal praise the show draws seems rather the opposite from what i experience here in Holland. Most people i hear talking about it do so in disgust, they seem to utterly despise an anime that isn't just mainstream amongst anime fans but mainstream in...well...the mainstream.
Out of curiosity, did you live in America at the time when Cowboy Bebop came out?
Anyway, I consider the "Golden Age of Anime" to be very different from the "Golden Age of Anime in America". But yeah, I would put shows like Robotech, and later Dragon Ball Z and Gundam Wing long ahead of Cowboy Bebop as the anime that started the "Golden Age of Anime in America" thing. In the 80s, everyone grew up and loved Robotech. In the late 90s/early 2000s, it was DBZ and Gundam Wing.

Almost missed my first flight to Australia cause I waited to finish the episode on Cartoon Network when Shiryuu battles Shura haha Anyone else dislike when two anime characters battle (especially sword fights) and they just run past each other and 3 seconds later someone gets cut? I know it appears in heaps of good anime (I've seen it on Rurouni Kenshin, Fairy Tail, Samurai Champloo, Saint Seiya) but I think its a pretty lazy and undramatic way to end a fight... Is that power rangers? And btw, Adult Swim is and was like the only outlet of anime on cable for the past 10 years, then Satellite and the influx of of 3000 channels and only 10 are good era began. So now syfy has anime and there are a couple asian channels that do it as well, and i think an entire anime channel that spams fruits basket down your throat last i checked, But the point being anything being talked about was the staple for adult swim. What did it used to be called back then, toonami? With the robot dude? Good shit. Oh and to answer my own question a few pages back, 3.5mm phone jack into RCA jacks did the trick for computer to stereo sound.
Its Saint Seiya/Knights of the Zodiac (I used to know it as Cavaleiros do Zodiaco). Yeh it was Toonami I used to watch also. It had heaps of great shows with robot dudes like Robotech and Gundam Wing

disdain for mainstream anime
How can you have a blanket hatred for all popular anime? How popular an anime is has nothing to do with how good it is. In fact I'd argue that it has a positive correlation.
Then again I guess liking or disliking an anime all depends on each individual's aesthetic, so I can dig.

In fact I didn't realize that this was page 888, let me stick a post in here somewhere as to be able to rub some luck off it.

You mean good luck like TWGOK 136 not being out yet? 
|
I should post here in the hope that the luck rubs off on me and I get a decent job this summer grrr...
And yeah, I don't think cowboy bebop was ever that mainstream, certainly less mainstream than something like dbz.
|
Since we are on a lucky page, I'm gonna ask if anyone has any idea when the next episode of Madoka will be released?
|
I'm going to abuse my luck and say next episode of Madoka comes out on THURSDAY 3/24/11

I post on this page (maybe?) to show my racist disdain for the people I am most often confused for.
Also, the Minamike radio is hilarious.
